DHGF: Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 is the latest in what seems to be a yearly release schedule for the limited version of the game. While not as robust as the table or online version, Magic 2014 is a decent representation of the game with ten pre-built decks and the new Sealed Play mode to let you build a deck from packs to play against the AI and other people as well as the campaign mode, the new decks and mode don’t feel like a cash grab, especially considering that you can only get one pre-built deck in a store for the price of this game with ten. The multiplayer showing is also pretty decent with three modes including your sealed deck. While not as clean on the game end of things visually as I’d have liked, the artwork on the cards is as usual, stunning, the decks you can play are diverse enough and somewhat balanced, and if you’re looking for that quick fix it’s a good way to go with it. If you’re on the fence about picking up Magic, these releases are a great way to get into it. It’s friendly to new players and people who have played before will feel right at home.
